I sure has...

I towed my coupe twice last week, to the upholstery shop and back. The tow vehicle was my Audi Q7 with disk brakes on all four corners. I was chuckling to myself as I thought back to my early 20's when I used our Plymouth wagon (either disks in front or four wheel drums) to trailer my 1969 Mach 1 into a paint shop in San Francisco. The trip in, on highway 24, coming out of the Caldicot tunnel, was a bit of a wild ride as it is down a long hill, and those old drum brakes heated up pretty well (I didn't have enough experience to drop into a lower gear and pump the brakes) and there was not much left for a stop if I needed to do so!
